# neo4j-driver-python-skill

> [!info] What it does
> Neo4j Python Driver v6 — driver lifecycle, execute_query, managed and explicit transactions, async (AsyncGraphDatabase), result handling, data type mapping, error handling, UNWIND batching, connection pool tuning, and causal consistency. Use when writing Python code that connects to Neo4j via GraphDatabase.driver, execute_query, execute_read, execute_write, AsyncGraphDatabase, neo4j.Result, or RoutingControl. Package name is `neo4j` (not neo4j-driver) since v6. Python >=3.10 required. Does NOT handle Cypher query authoring — use neo4j-cypher-skill. Does NOT cover driver upgrades or breaking changes — use neo4j-migration-skill. Does NOT cover GraphRAG pipelines (neo4j-graphrag package) — use neo4j-graphrag-skill.
